The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 138

Chapter 1 38 The two of them went to the quiet and secure passage in the building. Both Edgar and Adrain’s assistants guarded the two ends of the passage. Adrain leaned leisurely against the railing and asked, “What do you want to say?” Edgar stared at him with cold eyes, his face icy. your sister and Grace can’t get along in the future, who would you choose?” Adrain pondered for a moment: “That won’t happen. Sarah already knows Grace’s identity, and as long as Sarah still cares about Patric, she won’t argue with Grace again.” “Are you sure?” Edgar sneered and said, “From what I know, Patric and Sarah’s engagement had been arranged for two years, but they haven’t officially tied the knot yet. Patric recently asked for a breakup, but the family head of your family persuaded him to continue with the engagement.” “So what?” Adrain replied cun ningly. “You know Grace’s personality. Sarah has harmed her before, and her methods were very malicious. She will never get along with Sarah in this lifetime. Sarah is not someone who will take a loss, so you can only choose one between your sister and Grace.” Adrain became somewhat annoyed. “What’s wrong with you? Can’t I have both? I will try to mediate between them regarding their issues.” Edgar laughed as he listened: “You don’t truly like Grace. You’re just fooling yourself. Your sister will eventually get married to someone else, and you’re hesitating in a situation like this. You’re simply not worthy of Grace.” “Heh, it’s you who’s not worthy of her. Since the day you signed the agreement with her, you were destined never to remarry her.” Edgar smiled indifferently. “If there’s no remarriage, then so be it. At least I can protect her in a different way. Before she completely rejects me, I have to find a man who truly loves and cares for her. And that man is definitely not you.” Upon hearing this, Adrain’s expression softened and he stated, “You don’t know yet, do you? She hasContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

agreed to have dinner with me alone in three days. I will give her a grand surprise that day, and she will definitely accept my proposal. As for you, you will never have a chance!”

Adrain, with his elegant peach blossom eyes, gave a rare provocative smile. Edgar’s tyrannical side started to rise, and he grabbed Adrain’s collar, his voice low as he warned him. “You’ve been pretending for quite a while; I’m afraid you had an ulterior motive from the beginning of your friendship with her, right? Stay away from her from now on!” Adrain shrugged off his hand dismissively and asked, “Do you really think you can stop me?” It was true that Patric and Sarah’s engagement might not reach its conclusion. However, the union between the Grammer and Smith families was an inevitable trend, and besides, Adrain genuinely liked Grace. Getting married would be a win-win situation. But Adrain wouldn’t tell Edgar these thoughts. Their eyes warned each other back and forth in the air for a while until their respective assistants Chapter 1 38 pulled them away, ending this silent war. After Adrain left. Edgar returned to the office with Eric. Just the thought of what Adrain said earlier about the three days made him furious, and he slammed his fist hard on the desk. With a loud “bang.” Eric was startled. “Boss, what are you going to do about Adrain?” he asked. Edgar got angry whenever he mentioned that name: “Within three days, find a way to get rid of him. Send him packing as far away as possible from Frant City. Don’t bother me.” “Oh, okay!” Eric hesitated a bit. “But he has the backing of the Grammer family in S City, boss…” Edgar snorted and glanced at him. “Just the Grammer family. They’re the weakest among the four major families in 5 City. And this time he came to Frant City without obvious bodyguards, sneaking in. Can’t you handle this?” Liu Nian pursed his lips, feeling that his boss was exploiting and squeezing him. He was giving him

difficult tasks! So heartless and unreasonable! “Hmm?” A rather dignified onomatopoeic sound made Edgar frown and glare at him. Eric instantly panicked and chuckled. “Don’t worry! I’ll go back and discuss with the others. But we might need some cooperation from you, boss. Edgar’s expression returned to normal and he agreed, “Good.” In the past half-month, Grace has shown a bit more trust in him. She didn’t make Fifteen and Seventeen, the two bodyguards, watch over him every day, and he was quite happy about it. Three days later. Because she had agreed to have dinner with Adrain tonight, Grace planned to leave work one hour early. Just as she finished tidying up her desk and was preparing to leave, she received a call from Eleven in the Bay Villa. “Miss, Mr. Fallen has accidentally been injured. He is bleeding heavily from his waist. Please come back and take a look!” Grace thought for a moment and felt something was off. “Why don’t you call a doctor for the injury? What’s the use of me coming back?” “Mr. Fallen said it’s an injury he sustained when he was looking for you in the Wind City Mountains before. Today, he accidentally injured himself while doing housework. His physical condition is not the same as before. I’m currently helping him stop the bleeding. Are you really not coming back to take a look?” Was it the old injury on his waist from before? That injury was caused by her Big Brother. “Okay, I understand.” After hanging up the call with Eleven, she tried calling Adrain’s phone, but it was out of service. Grace didn’t think too much about it, assuming that he was busy with work. There was still an hour left before

their scheduled time, so Grace decided to drive back to the Bay Villa first. The Millionaire and His Billionaire Ex wil When she reached the second floor, Eleven was bandaging Edgar’s waist. The gauze was wrapped in multiple layers, but faint blood stains could still be seen. Grace walked over and sat on a nearby chair, asking. “What happened? Wasn’t the wound already scabbed over? How did it get injured again?” Edgar saw her return and smiled happily, saying, “Because today is a special day, I wanted to cook a few more dishes. I accidentally cut my waist while in the kitchen.” A special day? Wasn’t today Adrain’s birthday? What kind of special day could it be for her? Seeing her furrowing her brow in thought, Edgar said, “Did you forget? Six years ago, it was today that Grandfather adopted you, bringing you back to the old mansion from the welfare institute. It was also the second… no, the first time I met you Grace was surprised. She didn’t even remember such things, yet Edgar actually remembered them? Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Edgar continued, “Ever since I realized that I truly like you and care about you, I have kept everything about you in my heart.” Grace remained silent and expressionless. After finishing the bandaging. Edgar took two steps closer to her, his eyes filled with anticipation. “Grace, when you first came to the old mansion six years ago, I didn’t accompany you. Let me make it up to you this time. I’ve prepared many dishes. Will you have dinner with me?” Grace’s brows furrowed, and her expression grew serious. “No, I can’t.”
